Abstract
C45- and C50-Carotenoids: Synthesis of an Optically Active Cyclic C20-Building Block and of Decaprenoxanthin ( = (2R, 6R, 2′R, 6′R)-2,2′-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl)-ϵ, ϵ-carotene) The synthesis of the optically active cyclic C20-building block (R, R)-15 and of the optically active C50-carotenoid (2R, 6R, 2′R, 6′R)-decaprenoxanthin (1) starting from (-)-β-pinene ((S)-2) is reported.
